Rick Bernard is a club-level driver racing Formula Ford open-wheel cars in SCCA Regionals and Majors, a pair of national multiclass championships run by the SCCA in the United States. Both series field Formula Ford competitors across amateur and professional grades in the same races. Bernard has completed three seasons on record, from 2022 through 2024 in Regionals, with his first Majors start coming in 2025.[1]
In SCCA Regionals, Bernard has taken two wins and five podiums across seven rounds in 2024, finishing third in the season championship. His prior Regionals seasons yielded one win and six podiums from six starts in 2022 and 2023 combined. He has raced sparingly in SCCA Majors, with two starts to date.[2]
Bernard typically finishes behind his most frequent opponents, the competitive amateurs John Schimenti and Daniel Thorogood, both of whom have significantly more experience in both series. He has beaten each of them once across their head-to-head meetings.
